tangerine peel

Orange cousin's husk

Tangerine peel is the dried outer skin of the tangerine fruit, used as a flavoring in cooking and traditional medicine.

In Chinese cuisine and herbal practice, aged tangerine peel (chenpi) develops complex, slightly bitter notes prized in soups, teas, and braised dishes.

Fresh peel adds bright citrus fragrance to baked goods and cocktails.
